[Verse 1]
You can hCuff and you can pEuff
But you'll nAmever destroy that stuff
Finally, I see Dmwhy, I supGpose
Kid, you bDmetter change your feathers
Cause you'll never fly with thFose... thCingsF  
In 'These Nights,'  Cthe bFoys sing
"Hello, emptCiness
I heFard you're alright
I've heCard you're alright
I've heFard of you"
[Verse 2]
A bCody aching, fraEgile, and pale
Dark vaAmlleys house its trail
Why can't you see that a lFife in art and a lGife of mimicry
It's the same thDming?!G

[Verse 3]
The rCoom was crAmowded
And, though yCou couldn't care less abAmout it, that much was tFrue
That moGnth
Another verFsion of this miniature Rome Gto set fire to
FWhy did we stop fucking around you?
GGirls like gazelles graze
FBoys wearing bells blaze nGew trails in sDmoundG

It was the Dmsun, it was a stone falCling through blank space
It was that jeFwel-encrusted roan getEmting in my faceDm  C  
  FLooked across the way to The PriEmncess Rooms
I saw brDmides and their grooms
I heard the soCund of bells ringing!

FNow, step out of the darkness and iEmnto the light
Yeah, it's coDmmmon knowledge I've been doCing alright

You can huff and you can puff

But you'll never destroy that stuff

In 'These Nights,' the boys sing

"Hello, emptiness

I heard you're alright

I've heard you're alright

I've heard of you"

A body aching, fragile, and pale

Dark valleys house its trail

It's the same thing?!

[Instrumental]

The room was crowded

C Am F

And, though you couldn't care less about it, that much was true

That month

Another version of this miniature Rome to set fire to

Boys wearing bells blaze new trails in sound

Felt some mercurial presence, hitherto unknown

Dm C

It was the sun, it was a stone falling through blank space

It was that jewel-encrusted roan getting in my face

Looked across the way to The Princess Rooms

I saw brides and their grooms

I heard the sound of bells ringing!

F Em Dm C F

Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadadadadadadadada

Cinders look back fondly upon a house on fire when across

An ocean we go

We row and we row and we tire

F Em Dm C F

Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadadadadadadadada

Now, step out of the darkness and into the light

Dm C

I lifted the veil to see nature's trickery revealed as pure shit

From which nothing ever rose cause nothing ever could

I swear somewhere the truth lies within this wood
